The hostages Hamas has could have been released last year but Netanyahu kept spoiling the process. Netanyahu attempted to kill the hostages at every turn, including bombing them while razing the city to the ground. From the start he's had zero intention of rescuing anyone.

@thomasembree A good example of being able to do better is Andrew Coyne's article in the Globe and Mail today about our electoral system.

@proscience For a riding, yes, but under some types of PR, every vote counts toward the exact percentage of power each party gets.

@proscience @thomasembree Rarely though. With PR every vote would count every time.

SEPARATISM PUSH BREACHES INHERENT AND TREATY RIGHTS, SAYS FSIN
(Treaty 6 Territory, Saskatoon, SK) The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Executive expresses serious concern over Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's recent actions to facilitate a potential referendum on Alberta's future in Canada. Smith's proposal to lower thresholds for citizen-initiated referendums, which could lead to a vote on separation, fundamentally ignores the nation-to-nation treaties signed between First Nations and the Crown.
"As a reminder, we are the First Peoples of these lands and waters," stated FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron. "Those that want to leave are free to do so but all the lands, waters, and resources are First Nations, and were negotiated in the various treaties across Turtle Island. Our Treaties were and are still here long before the so-called western provinces became provinces."
The FSIN emphasizes that provincial boundaries were established after Treaty territories were defined. The Treaties signed between First Nations and the Crown are constitutionally protected international agreements that cannot be unilaterally altered by provincial governments.
"Any process of separation that fails to honour the true spirit and intent of our treaties would violate both constitutional and international law," Chief Cameron added. "These treaties were made with the Crown, not with provinces, and they remain binding regardless of political asp

This issue of separatism is causing division where the focus has to be on creating a pathway where the future of all must be on unity," said Chief Cameron. "First Nations never surrendered title to our lands and resources. We agreed to share, not surrender."
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan. FSIN is committed to honouring and upholding the spirit and intent of the Treaties and advocating for the promotion, protection and implementation of the Treaty promises made more than a century ago.

Under international law, Alberta is an administrative region within Canada and is not recognized as a sovereign nation with a right to self-determination. In contrast, First Nations are recognized as distinct peoples whose inherent rights, including self-determination. #cdnpoli #AlbertaSeparation

Treaty One Territory, Winnipeg, MB – The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) affirms its unwavering support for First Nations in Alberta who continue to assert their inherent and internationally recognized right to self-determination.

Under international law, provinces like Alberta are not recognized as nations. They are administrative regions within the Canadian federation and do not possess the right to self-determination. In contrast, First Nations are distinct Nations with rights that predate Canada and are affirmed through treaties, the Constitution, and international instruments such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

This foundational truth was clearly demonstrated during Quebec’s 1995 referendum when the Cree Nation held their own vote. An overwhelming 98% of Cree voters chose to remain in Canada, declaring that their Nation could not be forced out by a provincial decision. This historic act remains a powerful example of First Nation self-determination in action.

“A Nation’s right to self-determination cannot and will not be erased by provincial policies or political agendas,” said AMC Grand Chief Kyra Wilson. “First Nations within Alberta, like all First Nations across Turtle Island, have the inherent right to choose their own path and future. We stand shoulder to shoulder with our relatives asserting their sovereignty, their voices matter, and their Nations cannot be ignored. The Alberta government should speak to the Na

Anyone advocating for Alberta separation from Canada, especially Danielle Smith and Alberta legislature, should pack their bags and renounce their citizenship. They can leave but the land will stay. The land belongs to First Nations and the treaties are with the Crown. #cdnpoli #AlbertaSeparation

First Nations’ Chiefs say that treaties that cover Alberta pre-date the province’s entry into Confederation and they are vowing that any efforts at Alberta separation “will be met with their full opposition.”
